My bad... I should know better. I was in the middle messing with various PNP bios
settings and didn't prepare well enough.
I am using a RayLink wireless card with the adapter that came with it. But it's
not PCI. That would probally work. It's an ISA PNP adapter using the Ricoh
RF5C296 bridge.
All appears to go without problems until I actually try to use the cards. They
both start networks when one should start and one should join. (FWIW I can't get
them to work under windows either) Data on Cory's page and other web sources say
that this is either a card failure or some sort of receive problem where the card
dosen't get any data thus it starts a new network.
So far nothing in the debug level 5 output from ray_cs shows anything to be
amiss.
When I found the network script and it mentioned RX seeming to have a problem I
started to look at my IRQs'. (I am in the middle of installing isapnptools now
to see if I can find any more info)
Here's the output from test_network: (more or less I am retyping)
----------
PCMCIA network settings are coming from /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
Checking network itnterface eth1 (ray_cs driver)
Kernel messages for eth1:
eth1: RayLink, irq 5, hw_addr 00:00:8f:48:e3:03
current ifconfig setting
all pretty much std..
IP: 10.0.1.1
Bcast: 10.0.1.255
mask: 255.255.255.0
zeros on all the RX, TX, etc stats:
Interrupt 5
The interface is configured and running
There hasn't been any traffic on this interface
There is a route to a gateway at 10.0.1.1
Pinging 10.0.1.1.... response received!
The device interrupt does not seem to be incrementing normally.
